Benny and his sister, Lucy, were rescued from a township near the Ballito area in Durban, KZN, in December 2019. The Blue Bundu Brigade, an animal rescue organisation based in the heart of Durban, were approached and asked to take the pups in and to rehome them to good homes.
Benny and Lucy were a mere eight weeks old when they came to us in a malnourished state, which is typical from our townships. They were vaccinated and dewormed and their journey in rehabilitation began with much love.
These siblings are very strongly bonded, and we were most fortunate to find a wonderful home for them to go to together. Sadly, this is the point where Benny’s nightmare began.
MAKING THE DIAGNOSIS
We’d made a pot of cooked vegetables and meat for the dogs. They absolutely love this meal, and there was never even a grain of rice leftover. Bowls were licked clean. But Benny suddenly started breathing quite rapidly, and we could see he was very uncomfortable. Something was very wrong!
